"Playing Favourites"

- Playing Favourites -

Will the next one be pretty? 

Or the worst ugly monster? 

Will the next really care, 

if you happened to die?

Would the next give a toss, 

or keep all-night vigils, 

would they serve up, 

for your sustenance, 

their flesh and their soul?

The next might be a demon, 

no sense of affection, 

pure possession desired 

and no remorse for deeds done or planned. 

The next might do anything, living the dream, 

taking what they want, and giving nothing back - 

I know the thoughts of the next one, 

a hypothetical new favourite, 

because I have lived with her inside of me. 

I have lived with a ravening demoness, 

truth is, she's just my desire to be desired, 

but her quarry, her target, her victim... 

should beware his next favourite, 

and the next, and the next...
